Part
2 - Race Day
Part 1 - Registration
Cary NC - The Great American Cross Country Festival has new management
and a new course at the SAS Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. Runners
are anxious to try out the new course. Many are new to the event; others
are veterans but all are ready to leave their mark. On race day eve, teams
and runners mingle in the halls, meet other teams and warm up to race.
A few coaches dare to make predictions. We'll see what happens. No matter
what, it will be great fun.
